Lu Ze said, "It should be impossible. Her period has only been over for less than half a month. Dad and Mom, I will send Yuning back home to rest first."
Princess Pingrou said, "If you are not pregnant, maybe you have caught a cold due to the alternating cold and hot weather in autumn. You should rest well."
Qi Yuning bowed weakly and said, "Dad and Mom, I'm leaving first."
Qi Yuning leaned on Lu Ze's arms and walked out of the dining room. She could no longer walk, so Lu Ze carried Qi Yuning on his back.
Qi Yuning was leaning against Lu Ze's shoulder, and said, "It's really uncomfortable."
Lu Ze said: "You must have caught a cold at night."
Qi Yuning whispered: "If I caught a cold at night, it was your fault. It's all your fault for making trouble while bathing at night."
Lu Zelian blamed himself and said, "It's my fault."
After Qi Yuning returned to her room and lay down, she said to Lu Ze, "State affairs are busy. You should go to the next yard to sleep while I'm sick. Don't let me catch your illness."
Lu Ze reached out and touched Qi Yuning's forehead and said, "How can one get sick so easily?"
Qi Yuning instructed Lichun, "Go and tell Ali to tell Lingling to stay away from me. If Lingling cries and wants to see me, try to give her something to eat to coax her away from seeing me."
Qi Yuning was afraid that the disease would be passed on to Lingling.
The beginning of spring is the response.
Lu Ze went outside and asked Deqing, "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? Go and urge him!"
Deqing responded repeatedly.
Qi Yuning in the room said, "It's just a cold. There's no need to call the imperial physician, because it's not good for this minor cold to be known to everyone. I'll drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea and take a nap. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. Turn off the lights and go to bed. I'm so tired."
Seeing Qi Yuning's weak face, Lu Ze said, "Okay."
Lu Ze lay down next to Qi Yuning, holding Qi Yuning in his arms, patting Qi Yuning's back gently, and Qi Yuning fell asleep in a daze.
"Mom, I'm so cold, so cold!"
After a while, when Lu Ze was about to fall asleep, he heard Qi Yuning's mumbling.
Qi Yuning shivered and muttered, "It's so cold, mother, I'm so cold."
Lu Ze got up quickly and called the maid who was on night watch outside to come in. He took out two quilts for Qi Yuning to cover herself with, but Qi Yuning still felt very cold.
Qi Yuning opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ze in front of her and said, "Lu Ze, I'm so cold, very cold. Cover me with two more quilts."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "These are already three quilts."
"But it's still so cold, too cold. Where's my fur coat?"
Lichunlian took another quilt and covered Qi Yuning with it, while Jingzhe went to get a hot water bottle and handed it to Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning was holding the hot water bottle but still shivering from the cold.
Lu Zelian ordered Deqing to invite the imperial physician as soon as possible. It was not September yet, so he would not feel cold even with four thick quilts and a hot water bottle.
Lu Ze went over and held Qi Yuning's hand. It was very cold, but her neck was very hot.
For a moment, the courtyard was brightly lit. After waiting for three quarters of an hour, Lu Ze finally saw the late Imperial Physician Chen.
At this time, Qi Yuning was no longer complaining about the cold, and Qi Yuning's hands were no longer cold, but very hot.
Imperial Physician Chen stepped forward to check Qi Yuning's pulse and asked, "Does the princess have any symptoms? Can I feel the princess's forehead?"
Lu Ze said: "She was first drowsy and had a headache, then vomited, then said she was very cold, and now she has a high fever. I have never seen anyone have such a high fever."
Imperial Physician Chen reached out and touched Qi Yuning's forehead, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and asked, "Did the princess go to Lingnan these days?"
Lu Ze said: "She has never left Shengjing City."
Imperial Physician Chen said to Lu Ze, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the princess was infected by the miasma in Lingnan!"
Lu Ze frowned and asked, "Poisonous miasma?"
Imperial Physician Chen nodded and said, "Malaria is also called malaria. The princess is most likely suffering from malaria."
Lu Ze stood up from the bed, his brows furrowed, "How could it be malaria?"
Chen Yuyi said: "It is recorded in the Treatise on Malaria that the onset of malaria is first felt in the hair, followed by yawning, shivering, trembling chin, pain in the waist and spine, and when the cold is gone, heat will appear inside and outside, the head will ache as if it has burst, and one will be thirsty for cold drinks.
The princess's symptoms are exactly the same as those of malaria."
Lu Ze clenched his hands and said, "Prescribe the medicine quickly."
Chen, the imperial physician, sighed and said, "Your Highness, malaria is difficult to treat. Although there are many prescriptions recorded in medical books, most of them are useless. Princess Xu died of malaria after suffering for more than two years because she refused to take treatment."
Lu Ze's peach blossom eyes were filled with anger. "Now you are still not treating her and you say that the medicine is useless. If she dies without treatment, I think you have reached the end of your career as an imperial physician, right? If anything happens to Princess Qi, you will pack up and leave the Imperial Hospital!"
Chen Yuyi knelt down in panic. Lu Ze had always been good-tempered, and this was the first time Chen Yuyi saw Lu Ze so angry. He kowtowed and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the symptoms are very similar to malaria, it may be another disease. But even if it is malaria, I will do my best to cure the princess."
After saying this, Imperial Physician Chen knelt down and left. When he reached the door, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Malaria has always been difficult to cure.
Nine out of ten people who were infected with malaria would not survive. Even if there were one or two who managed to survive, they would never recover and would be troubled by malaria for a long time.
After Chen Yuyi left, Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand. Qi Yuning opened her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Ze and said, "This cold is really severe. My hands and feet hurt so much that it feels like they are being hammered with nails."
Lu Ze did not dare to tell Qi Yuning that it was malaria. He just held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "Take the medicine later and have a good sleep. You will be fine after you wake up."
Qi Yuning nodded lightly and said, "It's so uncomfortable. You really can't mess around at night from now on."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "Well, I won't mess around anymore."
Qi Yuning felt extremely uncomfortable and vomited for a long time before the maid came with medicine. Lu Ze fed Qi Yuning the medicine. Qi Yuning took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. She felt very uncomfortable and almost fell asleep.
Lu Ze lay beside Qi Yuning, holding Qi Yuning's waist tightly, but he felt that Qi Yuning's clothes were soaked due to the high fever and sweat.
Lu Ze had no choice but to help Qi Yuning change her clothes, but soon her clothes were soaked again and it took a lot of effort to finally stop.
When Qi Yuning woke up, it was already noon, and she stretched lazily.
Li Chunlian stepped forward and asked, "Princess, how are you?"
Qi Yuning said: "I took the medicine last night, and now I feel much better. There is nothing serious."
Qi Yuning heard the voice coming from the door, looked over and saw that it was Lu Ze, and asked, "You didn't take a day off today, why are you back?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning in front of him, his heart sank to the bottom. He went to check the medical books in the palace this morning, and Qi Yuning's symptoms were exactly malaria.
Qi Yuning saw the strange look in Lu Ze's eyes, she smiled and said to Lu Ze: "Don't worry about me, it's just a minor cold, I feel much better now."
